INTRODUCTORY. 

HE South — by which we mean that por- 
tion of the United States lying between 
Chesapeake Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, and 
the Ohio River, and extending from Atlantic 
Ocean to the Mississippi River — is pecu- 
liarly notable among the favored regions of 
the earth in the attributes that attract sports- 
men. In scenery it is grandeur itself, in 
climate "delightful mildness" perpetually 
fills the air, in extent of territory it leaves nothing to be desired, 
in transportation facilities it is not surpassed in America, and 
its hotels are many, attractively located, and well maintained. 
Its forests and mountains abound in four-footed game, its 
wooded uplands are the favorite resort of quail, partridge, 
woodcock, and the lordly wild turkey, its marshes and bayous 
are frequented by myriads of migratory wild fowl, and its crystal 
streams are the haunts of thousands of trout. 

Throughout these States, scattered, but still within easy reach 
of one another, are hundreds of attractive towns and villages, 
where visitors can find the best of comfort and cheer, and 
which are the natural starting points for hunting and fishing 
parties during the open season. 

Perusal of the following pages will show to all interested 
in sport what the South has to offer in this respect. The 
attractions of different localities are fully set forth, and such 
necessary information is added, as the nearest and best hotels, 
the available guides, facilities for obtaining teams, the varieties 
of game and fish found, the local game laws, and the names 
and addresses of residents from whom those interested can 
secure additional facts.

HOW BEST TO TRAVEL SOUTH 

THE sportsman who desires to visit the South in the hunting season will 
find that every transportation facility that he can require has been supplied, 
that every luxury of travel has been provided. He can consult his own 
inclinations as to the section he desires to visit or the game for which he is in 
search. He is restricted only in respect to the sections frequented by the game 
and the dates of the open season. Reference to the following tables will show 
these facts and will enable the sportsman to plan a tour so as to cover the locality 
he wishes to visit and hunt over at the seasons when the sport is at its best. He 
can likewise select the localities where the game he prefers is most plentiful, and 
can make all his arrangements in advance through the correspondents whose 
names are mentioned in the tables. All local arrangements can be completed 
far in advance of the actual visit, and when the time comes to go he can rest 
assured that the transportation facilities are adequate and need cause him no 
thought. 

The sportsman from the North will naturallv travel to this section over the 
main lines and branches of the Southern Railway, which operates more than 
seven thousand miles ot railroad, extending from Washington to Mobile, Ala. , 
Jacksonville, Fla., Charleston, S. C, Greenville, Miss., and Memphis, Tenn. 
This splendid transportation line touches all the principal cities of the South, and 
reaches the seaboard at Norfolk, Va., Charleston, S. C, Savannah and Bruns- 
wick, Ga., Jacksonville, Fla., and Mobile, Ala. At the first-named port it is in 
touch with steamers from the northern and eastern States, and at Mobile direct 
steamer connection is had with the West Indian Islands and Central America. 
Branch lines of the Southern Railway penetrate to all parts of the southern States, 
and reach all its favorite localities. At Washington, D. C, Lexington, Louis- 
ville, Ky., St. Louis, Mo., Memphis, Tenn., Greenville, Miss., Atlanta, Ga., 
and Selma, Ala., it is in touch with all railway routes north, east, south, and 
west. Close connections are made at all these points with fast trains, and the 
Southern Railway operates on its own main lines some of the finest trains in the 
world. The " Washington and Southwestern Limited," the "Southern's Palm 
Limited," and " Chicago and Florida Special," are unexcelled in their complete- 
ness and luxury by any of the famous fast trains of America. Junction points 
are frequent throughout the southern States, and particular attention is given to 
making close connections with the fast trains both north and south-bound. The 
needs of sportsmen — as well as those of the ordinary traveler — are carefullv 
considered by the Southern Railwav, which pays special attention to the careful 
transportation of hunting dogs and sporting paraphernalia generally, and makes 
special inducements to hunting parties to travel over its lines.

HUNTING AND FISHING 

VIRGINIA 

A DJOINING the well-stocked waters of Chesapeake Bay and extending 
/-\ westward to the Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia's broad acres and 
JL \- wooded uplands should naturally be the delight of sportsmen. That 
they are so, and that they have been so since the first white man settled on the 
shores of James River, is an acknowledged fact. The "Old Dominion" has 
been the resort of sportsmen since its settlement, and here, probably to a greater 
extent than elsewhere in America, has hunting and fishing approached in degree 
and method the habits and customs of England. The landed aristocracy of 
Virginia filled its country houses with hunting parties in the days of George 
Washington, and stables of superb saddle horses and packs of fine hounds were 
the boast of many a citizen. Though at the present day hunting with dog and 
gun has taken the place of "riding to hounds," the sport is none the less popular 
in this section than it was in the early days of the United States. Game in 
Virginia is plentiful and of many varieties. The shy and retiring quail finds its 
natural habitat in the State, and there are besides partridge, woodcock, and wild 
turkeys. The graceful Virginia deer is found in several counties, and the smaller 
four-footed animals abound in many localities. The waters of Chesapeake Bay 
and its tributary streams furnish the best of fishing, and water fowl in enormous

flocks frequent the bays and 
marshes. Trout are found 
in all the mountain streams, 
and native fresh-water fish 
make their homes in the rivers 
and lakes. 

Virginia particularly 
appeals to the business man 
with a limited vacation period 
at his disposal, as its attractive 
hunting sections can be easily 
reached in a few hours from 
Washington over the Southern 
Railway, which runs direct to 
the best game districts. The 
main line touches the more 
important points in the State, 
and there are many branches 
that operate east and west to 
the shores of Chesapeake Bay 
and to the slopes of the Blue 
Ridge Mountains. Junction 
points are at Manassas, Char- 
lottesville, Lynchburg, and 
Danville. Virginia excels in 
the excellence of its hotels. At 
Chase City, Va., the Mecklen- A Few s P are Moments 

burg management controls a private game preserve of 1 0,000 acres for the use of its 
guests. The attractiveness of the Mecklenburg preserves will be better appre- 
ciated when it is understood that the 1903 field trials of the Virginia Field Trials 
Association were held here. The roads of Virginia are excellent and well kept, 
and travel by other means than the railway is easy and convenient. Experienced 
guides are available at all points and trained dogs are kept at the more important 
and popular resorts. Hotel accommodation is particularly good, even at the 
smaller places, which have unpretentious but attractive houses, that make a 
specialty of caring for sportsmen and of furnishing them every facility for enjoying 
the sport. The Belleville game preserve, of 10,000 acres, reached by a fine 
drive of five miles from Drake's Branch, is a splendid property, attractively 
located, that is fully stocked with quail, turkeys, woodcock, and English pheas- 
ants. There are also a few deer. Quail and partridge are found in large 
numbers in the vicinity of Bealeton, Bluemont, Clarksville, Emporia, Fort 
Mitchell, La Crosse, Linden, News Ferry, and Somerset. The districts 
abounding in deer are in the neighborhood of Boydton, Broadnax, Chase City,

HUNTING AND FISHING 

Drake's Branch, Edinburg, Finnevwood, Fort Mitchell, Jeffress, Lester Manor, 
Scottsburg, Spring Grove, and Tunstall. At most of these places quail and 
other game birds are also found. Rabbits, squirrels, and small game are to be 
found in practically all parts of the State. Along the Norfolk Division of the 
Southern Railway are many noted shooting points, chief among which are 
Clarksville and South Hill in Mecklenburg County. Appomattox and Bucking- 
ham counties are favorite localities for deer. Towns where deer are found in 
the vicinity besides those mentioned are Alton, Buffalo Junction, Burkeville, 
Charlie Hope, Claremont, Green Bav, Green Plains, Lester Manor, Mattox, 
Meherrin, and Pleasant Shade. As will be seen from the foregoing list, Virginia 
abounds in choice hunting sections, and these are all the better for the reason 
that they have been hunted over for hundreds of years, and the native guides 
have tradition as well as experience to guide them. The visiting sportsman will 
find in Virginia not merely a land of promise, but a land of fulfillment, a place 
where hunting and fishing are to be found at their best, and where the best 
places are of easy accessibility over a splendid railway and by means of well-kept 
carriage roads. Where time is an object the sportsman can find no better place 
to visit than this', and he will return fully satisfied with his experiences, and fully 
determined to repeat the experiment whenever opportunity offers.

HUNTING AND FISHING 



SOUTHERN RAILWAY 



NORTH CAROLINA 

F greater variety in its physical contour than 
the other southern States, North Carolina pre- 
sents a diversity that makes it attractive to all 
of sportsmen. The State may be roughlv 
divided into three zones or belts. The 
first is the low level land along the Atlantic 
coast ; the second the rolling country of 
the interior elevated plateau ; and the third 
the mountainous part in the extreme west, 
which lies between the Blue Ridge Moun- 
tains in the east and the Iron, Smoky, and 
Unaka Mountains ot eastern Tennessee on 
the west. These three sections display 
varied characteristics and are frequented by 
different varieties of game. Along the 
shores, in the deeply indented bays and 
grass-grown marshes, are all sorts of water 
fowl from the famous canvasback duck to 
the toothsome reed bird. Terrapin are also 
to be found in these marshes, and in the 
waters adjoining are many famed resorts of 
deep-sea fishes. Splendid fishing grounds 
are located at many places off the North 
Carolina coast, and whole fleets of fishing 
vessels are constantly employed in the sport. The interior section, which lies 
between zoo feet and 800 feet above the sea level, abounds in the smaller game 
birds, of which the greater number are quail. The quail of North Carolina are 
fully the equal of those of Virginia, and are frequently of bolder flight, for the 
reason that in the "sand hill" section the foliage is sparser and the country is 
more open. The best known among the hunting sections of the interior of 
North Carolina — aside from those in the mountain region — is probably Pine- 
hurst, in Moore County. This village is charmingly situated in a fine shooting 
country. It has four excellent hotels. It is reached by a branch of the Southern 
Railway which leaves the main line at High Point, N. C, for Asheboro and 
from Asheboro to Pinehurst over the Aberdeen & Asheboro Railroad. In order 
to make Pinehurst attractive to northern sportsmen and to enhance its value from 
the sporting standpoint, Mr. Leonard Tufts, the owner, has acquired one of the 
largest game preserves in the United States. The tract embraces more than 
25,000 acres of natural quail country, all immediately surrounding and in the 
vicinity of Pinehurst. A fine stable is maintained at the village and a large kennel 
of well-trained dogs. Competent guides are at the disposal of guests at the Pine- 




Eight to Eat.

Ah ! I Have It 

hurst hotels. The Pinehurst preserves are maintained for the exclusive use of 
visitors to the village, and that the sport may be always of the best, Mr. Tufts 
has had planted throughout the more than I 50 acres large patches of cow peas, 
which are left ungathered for the birds to feed upon during the shooting season. 
Because of this enterprise Pinehurst quail are not only kept in finer condition 
but are apt to be more numerous than elsewhere. 

The mountain section of North Carolina, "The Land of the Sky," as it 
is called, is attractive for all classes of people ; not alone to the sportsman, but 
also to the outdoor lover, the convalescent, and the invalid. The pure air and 
mild climate of this portion of the South has made it one of the most famous 
health resorts in America. In the center of this region lies Asheville, America's 
"capital of health," a city of about 15,000 inhabitants, with several splendid 
modern hotels and quite a number of smaller ones. Asheville is reached from 
the east by a branch line of the Southern Railway from Salisbury, and from the 
north through Cincinnati and Knoxville, and from the south and west via Chat- 
tanooga or via Atlanta and Spartanburg. Other notable points at which railroad 
connections can be made to and from the best sporting localities are Greensboro, 
Durham, Goldsboro, Charlotte, and Spartanburg. Two miles from the city of 
Asheville is "Biltmore," the magnificent residential property of Mr. George 
W. Vanderbilt, famous as being the finest estate in America, the residence a 
masterpiece of the late Richard M. Hunt, America's most famous architect, and 
the grounds having bjen laid out and beautified by Frederick Law Olmsted, the 
eminent landscape artist. More famous, perhaps, from the sportsman's point of 
view, is Mr. Vanderbilt' s superb game preserve on Mount Pisgah, the largest 
and finest in America. This great forest is 100,000 acres in extent, and com- 
prises every variety of country, from level meadows to towering and precipitous 
mountain peaks. Within this forest are some seventy miles of wagon roads, and 
more than 265 miles of trails, the latter mostly along the many fine trout streams 

16 



SOUTHERN RAILWAY 

of this noble domain. Surrounding this game preserve is a boundary fence 
more than 300 miles in length. The tract is in charge of a small army of game- 
keepers, who reside on the property, and who keep it in prime condition for the 
use of Mr. Vanderbilt and the guests at Biltmore. Magnificent as is this great 
private game park, it is but an insignificant portion of the shooting grounds of 
North Carolina. There are still open to visiting sportsmen hundreds of thou- 
sands of acres of woodland and mountain, and hundreds of miles of streams, 
brooks, and lakes within whose limits lurk the leaping trout and the other game 
fish of these inland waters. 

One of the most noted regions of western North Carolina is the " Sapphire 
Country," which is reached from either Spartanburg, S. C, or Asheville, N. C, 
by way of Hendersonville and Brevard. Excellent hotels are found at lakes 
Toxaway, Sapphire, and Fairfield. These lakes are the finest bodies of water in 
the entire South, and are famed for their beauty, being surrounded by towering 
cliffs and cloud-piercing peaks. Lake Toxaway with its fifteen miles of shore 
may well be said to rival some of the European lakes as to size and beauty. The 
water is as clear as crystal and the lakes are kept stocked with rainbow trout from 
the hatcheries at Sapphire. 

The visitor may go west to Waynesville and Murphy, north to the Tennes- 
see line, or south to the borders of South Carolina, and find everywhere superb 
localities for the enjovment of sport. Everv variety of game for which the 
southern States are noted are to be found in the borders of North Carolina, and 
its many rivers, streams, and mountain brooks furnish lurking places for all kinds 
of fresh- water fish. Bass of large size are found in the Tuckaseigee, Nantahalah, 
and Little Tennessee rivers, and off the seacoast, southeast of Goldsboro, the 
lover of salt-water fishing can take sea-trout, Spanish mackerel, blue fish, and red 
snappers with ease and satisfaction. 

Bear are found in some of the more remote sections, such as Andrews, Bush- 
nell, Robbinsville, Whittier, and Willetts. Sections where deer abound are in 
the vicinity of Bullock, Hendersonville, Oxford, Paint Rock, Robbinsville, Selma, 
and Whittier. Quail are abundant in practically all parts of the State, and 
partridge and wild turkeys in nearly all. Squirrels, rabbits, and opossum are 
frequently met with and raccoons are common.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY 




SOUTH CAROLINA 



s 1 



IMILARLY situated between the 
Atlantic Ocean and the Appa- 
lachian mountain range, it is but 
natural that South Carolina should pre- 
sent similar physical characteristics to its 
northern neighbor. The "Palmetto 
State" is not quite so mountainous, per- 
haps, in the western part, but this fact 
makes it more accessible and does not 
detract in any appreciable degree from 
the beauty of its scenery or the attract- 
iveness of its sporting localities. Having 
a similar climate as well as similar physical 
characteristics, the same varieties of game 
are to be found in both States, and in equal 
profusion. If there be any difference it lies in 
the fact that North Carolina excels in fresh-water fishing and 
South Carolina in the salt-water variety of this sport. Water fowl are 
found at their best along the South Carolina shore, and Charleston, which is one 
of the seaboard terminals of the Southern Railway, is the headquarters for the best 
sea fishing to be had in the South, as well as being the starting point for most of the 
duck and water-fowl shooting parties during the fall. Shooting parties intending 
to visit the interior of the State leave the main line at Columbia, the State 
capital, which is the terminus of a number of the Southern Railway's branch 
lines. Columbia is the most convenient point in the State from which to reach 
the best hunting grounds. Other important traffic centers are Chester, Green- 
ville, Blacksburg, Aiken, and Seneca. Favorite routes for sportsmen through 
South Carolina are those southwest from Columbia along the Savannah River, and 
northwest from the same point to Spartanburg. On the first-mentioned route 
are such well-known and popular resorts as Leesville, Monetta, Trenton, and 
Aiken. Between Columbia and Spartanburg are found Pacolet, Strothers, 
Carlisle, and Bonham. Between Columbia and Greenville are Newberry, 
Alston, Chappell, Greenwood, Abbeville, Hodges, Belton, and Pelzer. Quail 
is the most abundant game, being found in the following sections — in addition 
to those previously mentioned — Batesburg, Blythewood, Campobello, Clifton, 
Cowpens, Johnston, Fort Motte, Kershaw, Landrum, Lena, Orangeburg, and 
Pregnalls. Partridge and woodcock are found in the same sections, and deer are 
sometimes seen in the districts surrounding Tarboro, Claremont, Branchville, and 

GAME LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA 

Partridge, Deer, Etc. — Sec. 431, of the act approved February 23, 1903. It shall not 
be lawful for any person, except upon his own lands, or upon the land of another, with the con- 



27 



HUNTING AND FISHING 

sent of the owner thereof, to net or trap a partridge ; and it shall be unlawful for any person to 
sell, offer for sale, or ship or export for sale, any partridge or quail, or deer or wild turkey, for the 
space of five years from the approval of this act; provided, that nothing in this act shall prevent 
the importation for sale of any partridge or quail; provided further, however, that the handling, 
possession, control or ownership of any partridge or quail, sold or offered for sale, or shipped or 
exported, shall be prima facie evidence of the violation of this section, and the burden of proof 
shall be upon any persons so handling, possessing, controlling or owning any such partridge or quail, 
to show that such partridge or quail was imported from another State or Territory. Any person 
violating this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction, shall be punished by a 
fine not exceeding thirty dollars, or by imprisonment in the county jail for a term not exceeding 
thirty days. 

CRIMINAL CODE OF S. C. 1902 

Deer. — Sec. 540. It shall not be lawful for any person in this State to kill any deer, or to 
worry them with dogs or otherwise, with intent of destroying them, between the first day of 
January and the first day of September in any year hereafter, except in the counties of Clarendon, 
Colleton, Williamsburg, Marlboro, Kershaw, Horry, Hampton, Darlington, Marion, Beaufort, 
Florence, and Berkeley, in which counties, it shall not be lawful between the first day of February 
and the first day of August. Any person violating this section shall, upon conviction thereof, be 
fined not less than ten nor more than twenty dollars, or be imprisoned not less than ten nor more 
than twenty days, which fine, if imposed, shall be recovered before any court of competent juris- 
diction ; one-half thereof shall go to the informer, and the other half to the use of the said 
county. 

(^uail, Turkey, Etc. — Sec. 553. It shall not be lawful for any person in this State, between 
th; first day of April and the first day of November, in any year hereafter, to catch, kill, or injure, 
or to pursue with such intent, or to sell, or expose for sale, any wild turkey, partridge, quail, 
woodcock, or pheasant, or between the first day of March and the first day of November, any 
dove; or at any time during the year to catch, kill or injure, or to pursue with such intent by 
fire-light, any of the birds named in this section ; nor shall any person or persons destroy or rob 
the nests of any such birds. And any person so doing shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, 
and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than twenty dollars, or be imprisoned not 
more than thirty days. 

Pheasant (Mongolian). — Sec. 554. Until the first day of January, 1905, it shall be 
unlawful for any person to catch, kill or injure, or to pursue with such intent, any Mongolian 
pheasant, whether upon his own lands or otherwise, upon penalty of not less than five dollars, or 
more than twenty-five dollars, or more than thirty days' imprisonment with labor upon the public 
works of the county. 

Shipment of Shad. — Act of S. C, 1904, makes it unlawful to ship shad fish beyond the 
limits of the South Carolina State boundary.

EORGIA, while possessing the characteristics of the Caro- 
linas in respect to low-lying and marshy lands along the 
coast, broad and rolling uplands in the interior, and 
rugged mountains at the northwest, still differs considerably from 
those more northern States. It forms the middle ground between 
the mountains that reach their maximum height on the borders 
North Carolina and Tennessee and the level and alluvial land 
)f the interior of Florida. In territory it comprises some eight 
million acres, the greater part of which is available to 
the sportsman in search of small game. Georgia has a 
somewhat lower average altitude than the Carolinas, and 
for this reason, and also because its slopes extend in a 
nstead of an easterly direction, its climate is somewhat milder 
than that of the States just north of it. During the hunting and fishing 
season the climate, though mild, is exceptionally agreeable. Transportation 
through the State by rail is excellent. Four of the main lines of the Southern 
Railway center at Atlanta, the capital, and a number of branch lines also 
start from the same city. These rail facilities make Atlanta the natural 
distributing point for the western part of the State. Augusta occupies a 
similar position in the east, and other prominent traffic centers are Macon, 
Columbus, Rome, and Dalton. Of game birds found in Georgia, partridge are 
by far the most plentiful. Rabbits, squirrels, foxes, and other small four-footed 
game are frequently met with, and wild turkeys and pigeons inhabit certain 
sections. Deer can be hunted in some counties. Trout, bass, and other game 
fish are easily taken in the mountain streams of the northern part of the State. 
On the main line of the Southern Railway, northeast from Atlanta, there is good 
rabbit and partridge shooting near the towns of Gainesville, Cornelia, Suwanee, 
Lula, Mt. Airv, and Toccoa. Going west and a little south of Atlanta, on the 
line to Birmingham, Ala., partridge are found near Winston, Villa Rica, Temple, 
Bremen, and Tallapoosa. Southward, on Fort Valley branch and the line to 
Columbus, the partridge's call is heard about the towns of Haasville, Kallulah, 
Piedmont, Topeka Junction, Culloden, Woodbury, Concord, Warm Springs, 
Shiloh, and Waverly Hall. Northwest from Atlanta partridge are thick along 
the Southern's line to Chattanooga, and excellent shooting will be found at Rome, 
Plainville, Sugar Valley, Carbondale, and Dalton, and other stations west on the 
branch line from Rome to Attalla.

TENNESSEE. 



THIS State, King between the mountain chain that separates it from 
North Carolina on the east, and the banks of the Mississippi, presents 
the same diversity of contour that we have learned to look for among the 
southern States. It slopes, however, to the west instead of the east, and its 
bottom lands are along the Mississippi valley instead of the Atlantic coast. Both 
hunting and fishing are favorite and popular sports within the borders of this 

commonwealth, the 
latter especially so. 
The two great 
rivers, the Tennes- 
see and the Cumber- 
land and their tribu- 
taries, afford the 
finest of sport in the 
taking of perch, 
catfish, bass, and 
other species of 
larger fresh-water 
fish, which are 
caught in goodly 
numbers. Par- 
tridge, quail, and 
woodcock are com- 
mon throughout 
the center of the 
State, and deer are 
found in some of 
the eastern counties. 
Knoxville, which is 
one of the chief 
cities of the State, 
as well as being one 
of the prominent 
railroad centers, 
a f f o r d s excellent 
transportation facili- 
ties over the lines of 
the Southern Rail- 
way to all parts of 

the State, and there are a number of other points and junctions scarcely less impor- 
tant, among these being Memphis, Morristown, Chattanooga, Clinton, Cleveland,

Harriman Junction, and Johnson City. Sanford, Riceville, Athens, Sweetwater, 
and Concord are convenient starting points for shooting parties. Between Knox- 
ville and Bristol, on the northeast branch, are Rogersville, Greenville, and Johnson 
Citv. From the latter place a branch road runs to Linville, N. C, through 
the wildest of country and most charming scenery. Game is plentitul in the 
vicinity and the mountain streams abound in trout. From Johnson City to 
Cranberry, along the River Doe and on to Linville, and from this point on to 
Grandfather Mountain, a splendid carriage road passes through one of the most 
picturesque regions of the Blue Ridge. Grandfather Mountain is the highest 
peak of this range, and is the birthplace of innumerable trout streams. Many 
other peaks add to the attractiveness of this region which boasts the most charm- 
ing climate in the South, and which possesses some of the best hotels among the 
southern mountains. Tennessee excels in wild turkey shooting, which splendid 
American game bird is recognized as the most magnificent winged quarry that 
can fall to the sportsman's gun. Quail, partridge, woodcock, pheasant, wild 
duck, red and grey foxes, rabbits and squirrels are also plentiful. 

The general game law of 1903 has proven a great protection to the game of 
the State, and the reports received by the State Game Warden show that 
immense numbers of quail will be found awaiting the sportsman for the season of 
1904-5. 

The Tennessee law is unusuallv favorable to non-resident sportsmen, and such 
prominent gentlemen as Harrv Pavne Whitney of New York, Hobart Ames of 
Massachusetts, Herman B. Duryea, of New Jersey, Wm. Cooper Procter and 
J. V. B. Scarborough of Ohio, and others own large shooting preserves in this 
State. 

GAME LAWS OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE

to take game out of the State may do so, provided he has a non-resident's license; he must make 
a written statement, duly sworn to, that the game intended to be taken out is not for sale, and will 
not be sold. He must present said license and sworn statement to some officer or employe ot any 
transportation company by which he proposes to leave the State, and he must accompany the game.

It is variously provided that it shall be unlawful for any person to catch, kill or wound any fish 
in many counties of Tennessee, by seine, trap, gun, grabbing with hands, gig, poison, or dynamite, 
or in any other way, or by any contrivance or device, excepting by rod, or line, or trot line; pro- 
vided, that these prohibitions shall not apply to private ponds and to minnows not exceeding tour 
inches in length, which may be caught exclusively for bait by dip net not to exceed six feet in 
length.

HUNTING AND FISHING 




SOUTHERN RAILWAY 

ALABAMA 

AMONG the southern States none is more admirably situated than Alabama 
/—\ for purposes of sport. Extending from the southern limits of Tennessee 
<L- J^ to the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, its diversity is all that could be 
asked, and its winter climate is of such mildness and pleasant quality that camp- 
ing is ideal, in fact, camping is recommended as being eminently satisfactory in 
every respect throughout the entire hunting country. Like the other southern 
States, Alabama furnishes excellent trout fishing in the mountain streams, splendid 
quail, partridge, and woodcock shooting in the central and the hillv portions, 
good river fishing in its larger streams, and the finest of wild fowl shooting along 
the Gulf coast. Ducks and geese are found in enormous flocks, their natural 
habitat being the marshy lands along the river bottoms, and among the shallow 
bays and salt-water creeks of the southern coast. Transportation facilities 
throughout Alabama are excellent. Birmingham, the great manufacturing center 
of the South, is. just north of the middle portion of the State, and furnishes 
frequent and convenient service over the lines of the Southern Railway in all 
directions. Frequent junction points throughout the State permit easy and rapid 
intercommunication between the best hunting and fishing localities. Among 
such travel centers are Attalla, Anniston, Woodstock, Akron, and Selma. From 
the last named point the route to Mobile passes through a specially interesting 
country that is famed for the excellence of its hunting and fishing. 

GAME LAWS OF ALABAMA 

Sunday hunting or the shooting of firearms is prohibited. Feb. 8, 1899. 

Wild Birds Not Game. — Sec. 2. (All wild birds are protected except the English or 
European house-sparrow, kingfisher, cooper's hawk, sharp-shinned hawk, duck hawk, pigeon hawk, 
great horned owl and barred owl, green heron and night heron, and the birds for which seasons are 
given below. ) 

Game Birds. — Sec. 3. No person shall kill any wild turkev, pheasant, grouse, quail, par- 
tridge, woodcock, prairie chicken, English, Mongolian, or Chinese pheasant, save only from the 
fifteenth day of November to the first day of March, inclusive. Provided, that it shall be unlaw- 
ful to kill any Mongolian, English, or Chinese pheasants for a period of five years from the date of 
the approval of this Act ; and provided further, that it shall be unlawful to kill wild turkey during 
the month of February. 

Wild Turkeys may be killed between November 15th and March 1st, both dates inclusive, 
except during the month of February, when it is unlawful to shoot or kill them. 

Deer. — The shooting or killing of deer or fawn is prohibited except during the months of 
September, October, November, and December. It is unlawful to shoot or kill deer in the waters 
of any stream, pond, or lake. 

Export of Game. — The export shipment or carrying of game of any sort outside of the limits 
of the State is unlawful. 

Sojjirrels. — It is unlawful to kill black, fox, or gray squirrels, except from July 1st to Febru- 
ary 1st ; both dates inclusive. 

Gun Only. — Killing of any kind of game birds or mammals, except with a gun, is prohibited. 

In addition to the above, there are various game laws applying to the different counties of the 
State, which, owing to lack of space, it is impossible to reproduce. Parties should, therefore, ac- 
quaint themselves with these local laws before attempting to hunt or fish.

THE excellence of the wild 
fowl shooting in Mississippi 
has passed into a proverb. 
The Yazoo Delta is the well-known 
winter home of the enormous flocks 
of these splendid game birds whose 
high-flying and closely packed masses 
are visible to the inhabitants of the 
eastern States on the occasions of their 
semi-annual migrations north and 
south at the turn of the seasons. The 
sportsman who seeks this variety of 
game will surely come to Mississippi, 
and will locate himself not far from 
the Yazoo Delta, whose gigantic flocks 
of wild fowl crowd its limits and over- 
flow into all the surrounding regions. 
But it must not be imagined that wild 
fowl are the only game to be found in 
the State. Partridge, quail, and wild 
turkey will be found among the birds ; 
and squirrels, rabbits, wild cats, deer, 
and raccoons among the animals. 
Occasionally bears and panthers can 
be discovered in unfrequented sections

GAME LAWS OF MISSISSIPPI 

Deer and Birds. — Code, 1892. — Sec. 1135, etseq. If any person shall at any time kill 
any of the kind of deer or any turtle dove, sometimes called mourning dove, or any starling, com- 
monly called field lark, between the first day of March and the fifteenth day of September, or any 
wild turkey, or any quail, usually called partridges, between the first day of May and the first day 
of October, he shall be fined. The code empowers county supervisors to enact county ordinances 
to protect game, and such ordinances prevail over the general laws. 

Sunday. — It is unlawful to hunt or fish on Sunday. 

In addition to the above, there are various game laws applying to the different counties of the 
State, which, owing to lack of space, it is impossible to reproduce. Parties should, therefore, 
acquaint themselves with these local laws before attempting to hunt or fish.

FLORIDA 



THE sportsman who seeks for ideal conditions of climate and temperature, 
and who likes to find abundance of game without hardship or discomfort 
— and who does not — will not neglect Florida in considering where to 
go for his winter outing. This wave-washed peninsula is perhaps better known 
to Americans as a fashionable winter resort, but its attractions for the sportsman 
are none the less powerful, and the State does not suffer in comparison with the 
more mountainous regions just north of it, while its enormous length of seacoast 
— more than 1,200 miles — gives it an extent and variety of salt-water fishing 
greatly in excess of the Atlantic and Gulf Coast States adjoining it. 

The game animals, birds, and fishes of Florida are many and varied • the 
first ranging from the humble 'coon to the graceful deer, and even to an occa- 
sional bear ; the second embraciug both land and water fowls, from the humble 
quail to the lordly wild turkey, and from the erratic "jack snipe" to the superb 
mallards and canvas backs ; and the third covering the whole catalogue of semi- 
tropical fishes from the gamy bass of the rivers to the majestic << tarpon " of the 
Gulf Coast. Transportation in Florida is easy and convenient, distances are not 
excessive, and outdoor life is ideal. Almost any part of the interior is quickly 
reached either from the east or west coast, or from the St. John's River, which 
cuts this narrow peninsula into two still narrower parts. The forests of Southern 
Florida are splendid natural game preserves, the numberless bays of the Gulf 
Coast swarm with migratory wild fowl, and the clear surrounding waters teem 
with beautiful and gamy fish. The sportsman or the angler who cannot be 
perfectly content in Florida is indeed hard to suit.

KENTUCKY 



KENTUCKY has been famous for its hunting ever since Daniel Boone 
returned to the settlements and described its beauty of landscape and its 
wealth of game. The fierce resistance of the Indians to the encroach- 
ments of the white man showed that they too appreciated its resources and were 
loath to leave it. The aborigines have long since faded away from Kentucky's 
hillsides ; and with them have gone most of the larger game. Bear are no 
more seen, though deer are obtainable in a few sections. The principal game 
birds of to-day are the partridge and woodcock, though others are frequently 
found. Lexington, just north of the center of the State, and Louisville, the 
chief citv, directly west of it, are the principal railroad centers, the latter being 
the point of concentration for travel over the Southern Railway from the Middle 
West and the States bordering on the Great Lakes. Besides these two great 
railroad centers there are a number of others of considerable importance to visit- 
ing sportsmen who desire to reach the interior points. Among these are Law- 
renceburg, Georgetown, Burgin, and Shelbvville. A few quail are found in the 
vicinity of Burgin and Shelbyville. Fishing is excellent throughout the State, 
particularly in the Kentucky River, in Elkhorn Creek, and in Buck Run, in all 
of which streams bass, catfish, and white perch are plentiful.
